So, if you’re an advocate for the environment and looking to explore Singapore’s cuisine, head to this one-star Michelin restaurant.

Founder and chef Kenjiro ‘Hatch’ Hashida puts the fun in omakase.

Meanwhile, its menu combines traditional and contemporary Japanese. If you are looking for an exquisite yet non-intimidating Japanese dining experience, make your way to Hashida.
